TV One for the win.

Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall star in When the Bough Breaks, a film following a young couple that hires a surrogate mother who becomes obsessed with the man of the house.

When the Bough Breaks hits theaters on September 16, 2016. Tune into the trailer above.

Benedict Cumberbatch will voice The Grinch in an upcoming film of the same name, according to new reports.

The news was delivered by Illumination Entertainment C.E.O. Chris Meledandri, who told CinemaCon’s audience of theater owners on Wednesday, “We were determined to make a [casting] choice that would not only define this version of The Grinch as absolutely singular, but most importantly, we were looking for a voice to express comedic wickedness while embodying vulnerability.”

“It is that vulnerability that allows us to create a character that is not only highly entertaining, but also has an irresistible appeal,” Meledandri said, adding that the animated film, The Grinch—expected in November 2017—will be “both modern and classic.”

The cool dad made the announcement via social media, tweeting, he’s “about to get all up in that Golden Circle.” The highly anticipated sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service will hit theaters June 16, 2017.
